One of a kind ( Eric Northman fanfic)

Politics & Scheming (2x05)

Tessa/ maria P.O.V

I woke up to see Eric on the bed. Pam was already gone, probably to deal with the bar. I got up as quietly as possible to shower. It felt relaxing to be under the hot water. I dressed in a leather jacket, T-shirt & jeans. The last touch were the short black boots in the closet. With my purse, I was ready to go out.

"Where are you going?" Eric asked as he blocked the door

"To eat. Got a problem with that." I glared

"Not alone. Let me get dressed." He sternly said. But, he only made it a few steps before getting the bleeds.

"Eric!" I yelled as I propped him up

"I'm fine." He said

"Fuck no you're not. You need to rest." I snapped while leading him into bed

"Ever so caring." He muttered

"Well, I need you alive to keep paying for this stuff. So, don't move." I ordered before going to the bathroom for damp towels. With some washcloths, I started cleaning up the blood.

"I'm sorry for Lafayette. You should have known." He whispered

"Thanks. But, don't waste all your energy. Go to sleep." I ordered with a faint smile

"But, you'll be gone." He said

"No, I won't. I'll be right here." I promised as he finally dozed off

Now I was stuck playing nurse. I closed the bedroom doors for privacy. But, my stomach was growling so I ordered room service. I needed blood & took some from the waiter. After some hypnosis & healing, he could leave. I brushed my teeth to avoid having any scent of blood.

With a full belly, I watched some TV. But, I got bored & went to bed. Eric was sleeping heavily & I couldn't resist cuddling him. Immediately, I was pulled into his chest. His arms wrapped around me to lock me in place. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

Eric P.O.V

I woke up right at sundown. Tes was deep in sleep & clutching onto my undershirt. It was cute seeing her like that until I noticed the sweat droplets. I looked at her knuckles & saw they were white. I quickly recognised the all too familiar nightmare posture. I quickly sat up & held her tight, rubbing her back & kissing her head. She woke up quickly & was gasping.

"Tes, you're okay. It's fine. I've got you." I assured her

"Everyone says that but they don't mean it." She mumbled before wiggling out

"What do you mean?" I asked as her cold demeanour surprised me

She didn't answer & just grabbed clothes out of the wardrobe. I repeated my question but got nothing. I tried getting her attention by standing in front but she sidestepped me. In a swift move, she was in the bathroom & locked the door.

Her behaviour wasn't shocking. It was the same attitude I had. Granted, I was still reserved & distant. But, she weakened some of those walls. I just had to wait for her to be comfortable to share even the slightest detail. To pass the time, I laid on the bed so I could shower. Luckily, the meeting was in two hours. An hour before, Bill knocked on the door. I ran to get it & let them in.

"Bill, sookie." I greeted as they passed

"Where's Tes?" Sookie asked as she scanned the room

"In the bathroom. She's quite moody." I explained

"How did you manage to anger her again?" Bill sighed

"She woke up like that." I defended

"Was she quiet?" Sook asked with concern all over her face
